The first desktop, the second desktop and the third desktop can be used at the same time; and the third desktop and support structure can be used to selectively set or remove an arbitrary exercise training machine when the user works.

The apparatus and method can be modified from a workstation apparatus having a plurality of desktops, for example, a main table can be used in a sitting position sitting on a chair, and a high table can be used in a standing position. One of the above may be provided with a exercise trainer unit such as a bicycle, treadmill or the like.

A further improvement provides different areas of the desktop having different heights in a workstation device that are securely disposed on the same structure. Accordingly, the present invention has better stability, robustness, ease of use, instant availability, and minimal degree of adjustment, which make such workstation devices more suitable. Similarly, the entire system is constructed with different heights and can be used immediately without adjustment, thereby reducing the disruption of user work.

Yet another improvement is to provide a plurality of different workstation devices, each having a desktop of a different height, with the desktops disposed adjacent to each other. In addition, a dedicated personal desktop is set in the shared workspace, and a sports training machine is provided in a shared exercise space, which has a higher high table or sports station table, thereby providing the user's body. Activities are also an improvement. On each workstation device, a layered space, a storage space, a ledge, a cabinet, a shelf, and the like can be provided in the vicinity of an adjacent area.

The present invention provides a workstation device that includes a plurality of workstation devices, each of which can accommodate a user. Accordingly, each workstation device is provided with at least one table, each table having substantially an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the upper surface is operable to operate. The upper surface is substantially a plane.

For example, the upper surface is substantially completely planar, but has a cross-section for tools, apparatus, fittings, racks, grooves, etc., on a uniform, evenly flat surface. Therefore, the pen holder, the computer screen, the anchor point, the support structure, the edge, the control panel, the control box, and the like are disposed on a top surface or adjacent to a top surface, whereby the partial area does not present a complete plane. Whereas a planar surface is substantially a flat horizontal plane in two dimensions, the plane is referred to as it is seen and is convenient for drawing.

In one embodiment, a dual function table can provide several tables to one user and several tables to several users. An adjustable high table with standing height is an example, but it does not have to be quick to adjust. For example, a table uses only a screw to lock a shortened stand at a particular height, thereby adjusting the height of its table top. An exercise training device such as a bicycle or a treadmill is located in the vicinity of the high table for the user to work at the desk.

In one embodiment, a high table is adjacent to a low table. For example, the user can leave the workspace of the exercise trainer and its corresponding high table, while sitting at a low table to use a computer, reading a newspaper or doing other activities. In one embodiment, the user can visualize a high table, a low table, a side table, or a combination thereof from a standing position, a sitting position, or both.

In one embodiment, a table having a sitting height is substantially fixed, dedicated, non-shared, and not immediately adjustable. While adjustability can be a worthwhile feature, this performance doesn't have to be used from time to time, or even convenient. For example, many commercial tables are prefabricated to a standard height that is highly functional.

At the same time, the high table is basically designed to fit the height of a user or a group of users. Thus, the high table can be designed to have a specific height that can be permanently fixed, or only slightly adjustable, or can be adjusted very easily.

In an embodiment, the height adjustment can be performed by cranks, racks and gears, balanced supports (spring or weights driven), or the like. However, since the height of any work surface corresponds to the lower edge of the user's chest, the complexity of the above adjustment means need not be an element of the system. Whether sitting or standing, this height is about the distance from the shoulder to the elbow. Therefore, the elbow can be placed on the table or removed from the table, and the arm can easily take reports, books, keyboards, controllers, and the like on the table.

In an embodiment, the high table can be adjusted relatively easily. In practice, the low table has less need to adjust the height. Initially, the adjustability of the low table depends on the height of the user, as well as the convenience and user preferences, but once adjusted, since the dedicated table is not used by different users, no adjustment is needed.

Similarly, the side table can be laterally coupled to the work space where the user can sit, so that the support member, the tool, the wallpaper, the computer, the screen, the personal item, etc. can be placed around the flat work surface in a surrounding manner. on.

In an embodiment of the invention, a plurality of workspaces are connectable to each other for simultaneous use by several users. At the same time, the workspace can be used by several individual users in close proximity or for use by people in the same group. Most users may not want to spend too much time (less than half a day) on the exercise trainer in the work space.

A number of low-level workstations or sitting height tables are provided with a common support structure that can be placed between them and the elevated table. Thus, one or more users can use a high table and two or more users can share a high table.

Basically, the stability can be enhanced by a solid, stable support structure that extends horizontally and vertically between different workspaces. Accordingly, a large support area, a larger support area, a centered support structure, a longer baseline or support length (a level of width between the support structures) will provide greater torque and greater support. This provides better stability and robustness of the structure provided on different desktops.

Triangular plates, angular supports, beams, underframes, etc. can be used. Likewise, the upright support structure can span a wide area between the layers or between the other support surfaces and the table top in a vertical direction. These upright support structures or tripods can be extended from the base by telescoping to adjust the height.

The bottom surface of the support foot of all the legs can be expanded in the horizontal direction to obtain a longer support length, so that it has higher stability, less shaking, is less susceptible to being affected by external force dumping, and makes the upright support structure More stable. In one embodiment, the workstation device is grouped together in a plurality of workspaces having a plurality of contiguous tables and replaced in a suitable manner. For example, replace the high table with a low table.

Basically, the stand of the high table is straddled on both sides of the exercise trainer, such as a treadmill or bicycle. Therefore, the table has its own support structure and is not fixed to the exercise trainer. In one embodiment, the user actually places a particular exercise trainer in the workspace to use a high table. At the same time, the user can exchange with other different training machines and set different training devices in other different workstation devices.

Therefore, the user can choose not to use the exercise trainer in front of a high table, stand on a treadmill, walk on a treadmill, sit or stand on a training machine, or sit on a bicycle in some postures. . Therefore, the user can make a large movement and freely choose to use any suitable exercise training machine in front of a high table.

At the same time, an exercise training system or a workstation device with exercise training equipment can face other devices (face-to-face, back-to-back or other suitable angle configurations) at a semi-fixed table height. However, with the choice of low table, side table, ledge, cabinet, etc., the workstation device may have its front end against the wall or very close to the wall.

Likewise, the athletic training system can laterally abut the wall with one side, the other side, or both sides. For example, the present invention can be placed in a standard industrial cell with an appropriate size or configuration with several walls in the vicinity. These walls are used to form a standardized cabinet, open cabinet, cabinet, bookcase, ledge or the like.

In an embodiment of the invention, the expansion space outside the outer casing of the shelf and the moving machine can be arranged for the user's convenience. This arrangement is the user's choice. In fact, a private office is a typical example. Another example could be a shared office. In another case, it can be a discussion room or a conference room.

Users may read, browse online, participate in webinars, edit papers, monitor, handwriting, typing, speaking, listening, listening to calls, making phone calls, using software at high time, low table or a combination of them at the same time. Wait. Similarly, while one person can do the above, many people arbitrarily operate the exercise training device at the high table or sit at the low table.

The invention has the beneficial effects that the invention has better stability, robustness, ease of use, instant availability, and minimum degree of adjustment, and these characteristics make such workstation devices more suitable. Similarly, the entire system is constructed with different heights and can be used immediately without adjustment, thereby reducing the disruption of user work. And can provide activities on the user's body.

The following is a description of possible embodiments of the invention, but is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed.

The invention provides a dynamic workstation device and a method for constructing the same, which mainly provide a plurality of mutually dependent desktops on a common supporting structure on a supporting surface; and a first user to be in a low position in a first specific time Positioning at a first desktop in the desktop; at a second specific time, causing a second user to be in a low position on a second desktop in the desktop; respectively at a first sharing time and a first The first user and the second user alternately use a third desktop in the desktop in a shared time, wherein the third desktop is available to at least one of the first user and the second user The high position is used as a desktop of a high-level workstation, and the third desktop is adjacent to the support surface and is located between the first desktop and the second desktop in parallel.

Referring to Figures 1 through 2, and with reference generally to Figures 1 through 15, the present invention is a dynamic workstation device 10 for use by one or more users. For example, exercise exercise machine 12 can be selected from any suitable athletic exercise device. In principle, the exercise trainer 12 is a device that is simple to use and does not require complicated operations, and can provide moderate aerobic type training.

In an embodiment of the dynamic workstation device 10 of the present invention, a suitable exercise training machine is a treadmill or other type of exercise training device. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the support post 14 is provided with an extension 16 for extending or shortening the length of the support post 14 in the vertical direction. Similarly, the support post 14 is provided with a foot 18 to provide a longer support length to make the support post 14 more stable against dumping.

A table 20 is disposed at the top end of the support column 14, and the foot portion 18 is disposed at the bottom end of the support column 14. In one embodiment, the length of the table 20 extending toward the user can be designed to be less than the maximum length of the foot 18 extending toward the user. Accordingly, the weight acting on the edge of the table 20 does not, to some extent, form a moment beyond the outside of the foot 18 (i.e., engineeringly refers to the formation of a force acting on a distance). Therefore, the table 20 is very stable, and it is possible to prevent the user from applying weight to any position and dumping.

Each of the tables 20 has a flat shape, whereby a working surface is formed on the top surface 21 thereof. The top surface 21 can be treated with a special material, such as a laminate, chemical polymer or other suitable material for the user to work on the table 20. Each table 20 can be provided as a high table 22 or a low table 23.

For example, in the embodiment as shown in Figures 1 to 2, the elevated table 22 is disposed at a fixed height. However, the actual height is determined by the user's choice to extend the length of the extension 16 from the support post 14 and is fixed for the user. On the other hand, the workstation apparatus can also provide the extension 16 with motorized, crank-controlled or other rapid adjustability on the support post 14. In other embodiments, the user can simply raise the table 20 and elongate the extension 16 to extend the length of the support post 14 for practicality.

In one embodiment, the low table 23 is available for a particular user. At the same time, the high table can be defined to be used in a standing position and can be adjusted for sharing at any time. An advantage of the present invention is that a plurality of users can simultaneously use the adjacent workspace 40.

For example, it may be an area for team work, and it can be used by two to six people, who may have certain organizational or mission-related relationships. In one arrangement, a plurality of dynamic workstation devices 10 are provided with lower table 23a, 23c to provide individual workspaces 40a, 40c with a common elevated table 22 disposed therebetween.

In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, the dynamic workstation apparatus 10 of the present invention includes a plurality of lower table 23 which are stably disposed with support columns 14, extensions 16, feet 18 and the like. In fact, it is further provided with a stabilizing structure 25 between two adjacent support columns 14 below the table 20. For example, the stabilizing structure 25 connects the two support columns 14 below the elevated table 22 to provide rigidity, structural stability, stiffness, and the like.

The support portion 27, such as a diagonal support portion or various gussets as shown, can stabilize the triangular distance of the vertical member from the leveling member. At the same time, the frame 26 can extend to the bottom surface of the table 20 or the side table 24.

For example, a desk may be provided with a flank extension that can be pulled out like a drawer, just on a set of drawers in the base of the table. This provides an increase in the work surface and the ability to place readily available items, reports, accessories, tools or the like. In the illustrated embodiment, the side table 24 can extend along a working space 40b of a user standing against the high table 22.

The positioning of the low table 23 and the high table 22 is very important, and the positioning of the side table 24 is also the same. For example, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, a user in a sitting position may find that the top surface 21a of the lower table 23a is approximately the height of its elbow. Therefore, the low table 23a can be used by hands, eyes (for viewing reports or other devices provided on the top surface 21a), and the like. At the same time, the side table 24 can also be used at the same height as shown in Fig. 1.

When the user is standing in front of the high table 22, the top surface 21b is approximately the height of the elbow or the waist, so that the working surface of the high table 22 can be viewed and touched. At the same time, the top surface 21b can be placed on the elbow or the forearm.

However, in the illustrated embodiment, the top surfaces 21a, 21c, 21d, 21e can all be used by a user standing in front of the high table 22 in the workspace 40c. Therefore, in practice, the user's placed items, stored items, spread reports and documents, computer screens or keyboards, or other accessories are available, and most of them are accessible.

A major factor affecting worker productivity is that it can be spread out, browsed, touched, or otherwise accessible to essential items such as tools, reports, documents, reading tools, reference tools, computers, screens, and interfaces (mouse, keyboard, etc.) ) the workspace.

Therefore, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the heights of the top surfaces 21a, 21c, 21d, 21e are available for viewing and contact. Not only is the user sitting in the workspace 40a, 40c to achieve certain functions, but also standing more efficiently, such as walking or moving in front of the high table 22 in the workspace 40b.

A console 28 is electrically coupled to the exercise trainer 12. Undisturbed work convenience is an important advantage of the present invention. Accordingly, the console 28 is preferred to be designed and formed so as not to interfere, visually, or physically interfere with working in front of the high table 22. Thus, the console 28 can be embedded in the elevated table 22, lightly placed under the table adjacent to the user's table edge or the like.

At the same time, the buffer portion 30 is provided on the upper table 22 so that the user can take objects unobstructed at the central portion of the high table 22. For example, the table edge of the elevated table 22 can extend around the user to maintain a substantially equal radial distance.

For the purpose of comfort, safety, and convenience, a shock absorber 31 such as a cushion body, a wrist support, or a combination thereof is provided on the cushioning portion 30. Basically, the damper 31 is made of a foamed elastomeric material such as a urethane, polyethylene or other extended polymeric material. Therefore, the damper 31 forms a protection portion at the edge of the upper table 22.

The exercise trainer 12 can be selected from a variety of devices. For example, there are treadmills, exercise bikes, seat reclining bicycles, steppers, elliptical machines, and the like. However, the selection of the exercise trainer 12 must be consistent with the need for the worker to be distracted, so the exercise trainer 12 must have features that do not require excessive focus.

The exercise trainer 12 can be replaced in the workspace 40b and electrically coupled to the console 28 in a convenient manner and location. Conversely, the exercise trainer 12 can also be of a particular type without being replaced. However, the exercise trainer 12 as shown in Fig. 5 does not have any structural support connection to the table 20 at all.

The fairing 32 on the motor 34 of the stepper 12 as shown in Fig. 1 does not prevent the user from walking on the treadmill 12. It does not hit the high table 22, the low table 23a, 23c or the side table 24 in any orientation.

In the manner of explanation, the last code letter extended here after the reference number of the item represents a particular case of the item. This reference number can be used to refer to an item corresponding to the label. Therefore, it is not necessary to describe the article of each label, nor to match the article with the label and the last letter. This reference number may refer to various situations and may also be considered as a reference to the general type of item. However, in terms of distinguishing between specific items and their connections, it is sometimes convenient and more straightforward to use the last letter for a particular situation.

In general, the structure of the exercise trainer 12 (here a treadmill) is basically provided with a protective structure 35 to isolate the user from the device. This increases safety and slows the user's excessive focus on the exercise trainer 12, particularly as the frame 36 is protected by the guard structure 35 located above it. Similarly, the foot 37 can adjust the height of the frame 36 relative to a support surface, such as the ground.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, a track 38 constitutes a running track for the user to walk around. As it moves, the track 38 advances, driving the user to advance along the track 38 to maintain a stationary state relative to the table 20. The user can use any of the workspaces 40.

In actual use, several users can concentrate on using the low table 23 and share a single high table 22. Therefore, the maintenance and investment costs of the exercise training machine 12 are distributed to more users. The traditional functionality provided by the table 20 can still be passed to an individual user.

For example, in most environments, the user does not spend a whole day walking around on the treadmill; instead, he spends a lot of time sitting in front of the low table 23. Accordingly, the individual user can share time with another user by using a low table 23, respectively. The time of using the high table 22 can be further divided among several users.

An "enhanced user" can operate the treadmill 12 for a full day in front of the high table 22, including standing, walking, jogging, running, or a combination of the above. In reality, however, most users spend less than two hours a day and walk on the treadmill at a low speed. Therefore, in principle, these available times can be split and shared with each other with the consent of the users.

The embodiment shown in Fig. 1 includes two separate lower table tables 23a, 23c and a high table 22 shared therebetween. In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 2, however, a single high table 22 is located adjacent a single low table 23. The latter embodiment is also available, even if the high table 22 is not shared.

In general, the upper table 22 is firmly disposed on each of the support columns 14, and the support columns 14 are coupled to the frames 26 supporting the tables 22, 23, 24, and the table is fixed to the structure of the support columns 14. Through the frame 26, whether it is the high table 22, the low table 23 or the side table 24, the table 20 obtains an additional hardness (i.e., section modulus) that does not require additional thickness of the table top material.

On the other hand, the frame 26 is also fixed to the support post 14 and is fixed by the support portion 27 or the gusset to increase the necessary stability. As such, this reduces the space, weight, cost, and mutual interference of the support columns 14 and other frames 26. In these embodiments, the user is free to move within the workspace 40a, 40b, 40c without being obstructed by the unused tables 22, 23, 24 and the support structure. Therefore, it must be noted that it is necessary to have a gap in the longitudinal direction of the user's position. At the same time, the lateral voids are equally suitable for standing or sitting as needed.

Referring to Figures 3 through 5, and with reference generally to Figures 1 through 15, in one embodiment, the user may select any of the chairs 50 of their desired configuration. For example, some people like armchairs, while others don't. Therefore, different types of chairs can be selected according to the user's preference. Similarly, the height of a personal low table 23 is based on the particular height selected by the individual. Individuals using a dedicated low table 23 will set the heights 19a, 19b of the lower table 23 according to their preferences.

In an embodiment, the user may set the height of the side table 24 to be the same as the height 19a of the lower table 23. In other embodiments, the side tables 24 may be of other heights. Basically, when the user is standing in front of the high table 22, the side table 24, the low table 23 and any items placed thereon can be visually and manually touched. At the same time, certain items, screens, and items placed on the high table 22 can also be viewed and taken in front of the low table 23 in a sitting position.

In fact, it is very important that the user can visually view the items, reports, files, accessories, computers, screens and the like placed on the low table 23 when operating on the high table 22, at least in comparison to being more important. of. For example, a user in front of the high table 22 may still want to use items placed on the low table 23. A user sitting down using the lower table 23 is less likely to need to use items placed on the top surface of the high table 22. However, in the embodiment illustrated in Figure 2, the elevated table 22 is associated with a single low table 23.

The user may place the workstation device on the ground 51 to support the table system. A personal dedicated device is then placed in a dedicated space on the dedicated low table 23. For example, a computer 52, a screen 54, a keyboard 56, a mouse 57, and the like are included.

In an embodiment, the screen 54 is disposed on the elevated table 22. This screen 54 can be used by several users. Alternatively, the screen 54 can be placed on the low table 23 as appropriate, as if placed on the high table 22. However, in the illustrated embodiment, the user can clearly visually view the screen 54 on the lower table 23 even if the user uses the high table 22 in a standing position.

Basically, the phone 58, the report 59, and the like can be moved around by the user. Thus, the user can place the phone 58 anywhere in the workspace 40. Thus, the phone 58 may be moved to the high table 22 and placed back on the low table 23 as desired. Similarly, the report 59 can be placed on any table 20 or moved from the lower table 23 to the upper table 22 at different times. In general, the workstation device of the present invention can provide the user with any choice and configuration to meet the personal preferences of the workspace, such as efficiency, convenience, and organization.

Basically, an office has walls 60, 61. The user will face a front side wall 60 when sitting on the low table 23, while the side wall 61 may be nearby or a distance away. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, the side wall 61 is adjacent to the lower table 23a and supports the ledge, cabinet or other arrangement. Similarly, a front side wall 60 faces the user and may also be supported against a ledge, bracket, display, storage cabinet, open cabinet or the like. Similarly, cabinets, filing cabinets or other organizational units may be fixed by their support.

The user will assign the position of the arrangement in such a way that it is most beneficial to the object. Overall, users have the freedom to arrange their own work space as needed. At the same time, the shared work space, such as the place associated with the high table 22, can be set for sharing with the consent of the user, or can be quickly adjusted by the user at any time when the user uses it.

Basically, the laptop 62 can be used remotely or in combination with the table 20. Basically, the user may use a telephone, a smart phone, a personal digital assistant or the like. Other components may be photographed on the table 20 and against the walls 60,61. Thus, dedicated space is compatible with a shared environment, increasing the availability of the workspace to reduce cost, increase utility, and maximize user productivity.

The safety tether 68 of the exercise trainer 12 is coupled to the dynamic workstation apparatus 10. For example, to prevent a fall, a lame or an injury, a user who is about to leave the high table 22 will automatically pull the safety tether 68 to immediately stop the automatic movement of the exercise machine 12. Therefore, the present invention generally does not require the removal of the safety device of the exercise training machine 12.

Similarly, the table 20 is replaced with a wide width handle, crossbar, border or other suitable device for the user to grasp, and may all be replaced to provide stability, measure distance, set the speed of the treadmill, and the like. Since the position of each table 20 is fixed and does not move, the user can visually recognize it. Therefore, by visually viewing the high table 22, the low table 23 or the side table 24, the user can generate a picture of driving the car on the road in his mind without having to concentrate on each detail. The surrounding scene forms the feeling that nearby items are moving. Therefore, the table 20 provides the user with these visual feelings even in the surrounding viewing angle.

Thus, the safety tether 68 can provide protection that the user cannot pull to the console 28 and thereby close the exercise trainer 12. However, the extended use of the handle does not require the user to provide the proper structure, strength, support, use, size, and grip capabilities of the user, such as a table having support posts 14 and frames 26.

Referring particularly to Figure 3, it includes a wall 60, a laptop 62, a telephone or PDA 64, other accessories 66, and a safety tether 68. At the same time, a conventional telephone is also placed next to other accessories, such as beverage containers and the like.

In particular, an adjustment device 70 may be a crank, a bolt or the like. Accordingly, by appropriately sizing and weighting, the user can easily elevate the elevated table 22 by elongating the extension 16 from the support post 14 or its base.

Similarly, a high level table 22 can be tilted using an adjustment (not shown). For example, when processing the report, when the high table 22 is tilted relative to the support column 14, the user tends to abut the report against the shock absorber 31 to prevent it from slipping off the high table 22, and thereby at a high position A better viewing angle is obtained on the surface 21 of the table 22.

Therefore, the adjustment device 70 may be disposed at a connection position between the extended section 16 and the table top of the upper table 22. However, the most basic adjustment project is a height adjustment, such as by bolts 70 ensuring relative movement of the support column 14 and the extension 16. In fact, this adjustment 70 may be a bolt with a knob whereby the force is easily applied to rotate to secure the extension 16 where appropriate. In this way, this adjustment is readily available, but not automated or motorized.

For most people, the best position is when the high table 22 is set to a certain height. Height differences are particularly sensitive in personal preferences. However, the lower table 23 is basically set to a fixed height of about 28 to 32 inches. Basically, a 30-foot table is very common. Thus, in some embodiments, the support post 14 of the lower table 23 may not even have any adjustability, but is simply fixed to a standard height. However, in some embodiments, the support posts 14 of the lower table 23 may also be adjustable to meet the exact preferences of a single user.

Referring to Figure 4, the side table 24 may be incorporated into the lower table 23, even without the low table 23. As is well known, users often need a place to place items that are necessary but not immediately available. For example, beverages, reference books, items, telephones, and the like may be placed on a common side table 24 between a plurality of high table 22, even without a dedicated low table 23.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, a common side table 24 is provided between the two high table 22. Each of the high table 22 is provided with a sports training machine 12, respectively. In the present embodiment, one user or two users may have any items that are intended to be used at any time on the side table 24, and non-essential items are placed on the high table 22. However, when the user places other files on the top surface 21 of the high table 22, he may move the report from the high table 22 to the side table 24 for storage or short-term storage. In other embodiments, an additional low table 23 may be placed outside of the elevated table 22 in the workstation apparatus as shown in FIG. Thus, in such an embodiment, the user may have several side tables 24.

Referring to Figure 5, a particular embodiment of the present invention is provided in a room having a wall 60 and defines a plurality of workspaces 40. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 5, as shown in Fig. 4, a side table 24 is provided beside each high table 22. As shown in FIG. 5, a single exercise trainer is provided in the work space 40. Other workspaces 40 may also be provided with the exercise trainer 12, but are not required. Therefore, a person can work in a standing position with or without the support of the exercise training machine 12.

In this case, each of the high table 22 faces a wall 60. Side walls are also provided on either side of a single work space 40 or high table 22. Basically, in this embodiment, the position of the side table 24 does not consider setting the lower table 23 because the space is not suitable for setting the seat. Moreover, the length or width of each side table 24 is very large, even exceeding what is shown in Figure 4. Thus, the surface 21 of the side table 24 has a relatively large amount of space for placement of items, distribution of reports or other workspaces. In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 5, each of the high table 22 is dedicated and the side tables 24 are common.

Referring to Fig. 6, while referring generally to Figs. 1 to 15, basically, a series of cells 86 are disposed in a "high density" office space. Individual cells 86 may be provided to one person, several individuals, a group of people, a group, and the like. The detailed size of the compartment 86 may depend on the number of people using the workspace.

Likewise, the cells 86 have walls 60 of different heights. In some work environments, the wall 60 traverses from the floor to the ceiling in a closed room. In other embodiments, the wall 60 or partition 60 around the compartment 86 extends approximately 6 inches above most people's height. In other embodiments, the height is lower to facilitate talking to each other. Therefore, the suitability of the job, the need for visibility, the need for verbal conversation or privacy may be a factor in the wall height of the cell 86.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, a high table 22 is provided beside the lower table 23. At the same time, an exercise trainer 12 (here a treadmill) is placed directly on the floor between the support columns 14 on either side of the high table 22. A cradle 80 can be an additional location for certain information, such as a monitor 82 (or screen). At the same time, the console 28 that controls the exercise trainer 12 is still fixed to the position of the high table 22 near the edge of the table.

In contrast, the monitor 82 may be secured above or below the top surface 21 of the elevated table 22. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, the user can visually view the monitor 82 as if he were a high table 22. Therefore, since the space near the table 22 and the distance from the exercise training machine 12 does not hinder the movement, the pedestal 80 can be placed where the user can see before standing at the high table 22 (for example, during exercise). .

Tables 22, 23, support posts 14 and the like may be provided with accessories such as shelves 84 (or shelves). Likewise, the shelves 84 (or shelves and the like) may also be secured to the wall 60 of the cells 86. In the illustrated embodiment, the dynamic workstation unit 10 is provided with opposing side walls 61a, 61b on both sides that provide additional space for the brackets, shelves, cabinets, and the like. Similarly, the tables 22, 23 are located very close to the front side wall 60 or to the front side wall 60.

In other embodiments, the dynamic workstation device 10 may be separated by a wall 60 to provide a space above the one or more tables 22, 23 that allows the accessories such as the rack and cabinet to protrude for use by the user. In other embodiments, the shelves, cabinets, and the like may be secured to the front side wall 60, side walls 61a, 61b, but are sufficiently spaced from any of the tables 22, 23 to avoid obstruction. For example, the lower table 23 may be located very close to the front side wall 60, with a cabinet disposed at the top end of the front side wall 60 or near the top end to avoid obstruction. The user may still use the lighting device while working in front of the low table 23. Likewise, a lighting device may be placed under the cabinet to illuminate the top surface 21 of the lower table 23. In some embodiments, the shelves, cabinets, and the like are positioned to enhance the visibility of the table 20, 22, 23 when the user uses the high table 22 or the low table 23.

Referring to Figures 7 through 12, and with reference to Figures 1 through 15, as a whole, depending on the needs of a particular user, the various settings of the dynamic workstation device 10 will make the workspace more perfect. For example, from the user's point of view, the lower table 23 shown in FIG. 7 is equal or equal in width to the upper table 22. Therefore, the lower working space 40a is more spacious than the high working space 40b. However, the placement of the shelf 84 may prevent the user from sitting near the end or distal end of the lower table 23. At the same time, a cushioning portion may be provided on the lower table 12 to provide a more stable and tightly coupled frame 26 for the support posts 14 under the elevated table 22.

Similarly, as shown in Figure 9, the side table 24 can be replaced, i.e., the presence of a separate side table 24 is enlarged. In the embodiment as shown in Fig. 9, the lower table 23 actually includes the side table 24 to form a portion of its continuous top surface 21.

Similarly, in the embodiment of Fig. 10, the lower table 23 can be actually disposed as the side table 24. That is, the user standing in front of the high table 22 in the work space 40b can approach all positions on the entire length of the top surface 21 of the lower table 23. Therefore, the lower table 23 can be approached from the side opposite to the exercise training machine 12 of the high table 22. At the same time, items, reports, accessories, screens, computers, and the like are still visible throughout the length of the low table 23, and any items placed on the table are also within reach. Thus, the dynamic workstation device 10 is completely surrounded by a standing user.

The only inconvenience of the workstation device is that the user must bypass one end of the lower table 23 when moving from the upper working space 40b to the lower working space 40a in order to sit down and use. However, since the user bypasses the support post 14 to sit in front of the lower table 23 at a shorter distance than the embodiment of Figures 7 to 9, the required space is optimal. Therefore, a smaller lateral distance is necessary. The chair 50, the auxiliary support column 14, and the like are omitted in Fig. 10, but are provided as appropriate as described above.

Referring to Fig. 11, a low table 23 (actually two) exhibits its aspect ratio (the ratio of the two dimensions, in this case the ratio of length to width). The aspect ratio of each table is the same as that of the lower table 23 shown in Fig. 10. However, in this embodiment, the lower table 23 extends a long distance from the exercise trainer 12, where the exercise trainer is a treadmill. Thus, the workspaces 40a, 40c in Figure 11 are relatively large and extend along the front side wall 60 as seen by a sitting user. Therefore, the total occupied space of the dynamic workstation device 10 in Fig. 10 is relatively narrower than that measured in the direction of movement perpendicular to the treadmill 12.

Referring to Fig. 12, if desired, the high table 22 can be provided on the exercise trainer 12 alone. Thus, at a minimum, the dynamic workstation device 10 includes a treadmill 12 or other athletic exercise machine that is not physically coupled and disposed between the support posts 14. As the meaning suggests, the treadmill 12 does not have any connection with anything other than the floor. Thus, the support, fasteners, connectors, adapters, and the like can secure the treadmill 12 or other exercise trainer 12 to the support post 14 or the elevated table 22. However, it may not be needed at all. This provides for more immediate availability, easier setup, and adjustment of the relative position of the exercise trainer 12. Therefore, for the convenience, comfort and personal preference of the user, additional adjustability, maneuverability, etc. can be obtained by avoiding fixing the exercise trainer 12 to a bracket provided on the support post 14 of the high table 22. .

Referring to Figures 13 through 16, the dynamic workstation device 10 is provided with a row of high table 22 in a slightly crowded area. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 13, one of the side tables 24 extending rearwardly along the length of the treadmill 12 and extending away from the elevated table 22 may replace the lower table 23. However, such an arrangement limits the availability of a row of high table 22 in terms of personal use in a sitting position. That is, in the embodiment of Fig. 13, it is not feasible to basically use it in a sitting position, and space is not allowed.

On the other hand, some spaces are available for setting as shown in Figures 14-15. In this embodiment, the arrangement may be a row or a column. Here, the two rows of the high table 22 are arranged face to face. Accordingly, such a workspace is slightly infeasible for working in a sitting position and may even be almost infeasible.

However, in some embodiments, a common office space provides a personal table for each user, and the high table 22 is clustered for use in another location other than the personal table, in the case of this appropriate configuration. The heat generated by the user's sweating and the operation of the motor 34 provided under the cowl 12 of the treadmill 32 is carried away. This can occur with a lower room temperature, such as about 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, rather than the more comfortable Fahrenheit 68 to 72 degrees. Therefore, a room with a plurality of rows of high table 22s may be maintained at an appropriate temperature, unlike a work space that typically requires sedentary and comfortable temperatures.

In the illustrated embodiment, the present invention provides a number of benefits to the user. In the illustrated embodiment, the system is modular, and the individual dynamic workstation devices 10 can be added by adding a plurality of low-level tables 23, and different combinations, configurations, configurations, and connection modes of the high-level table 22. The angle of intersection of the central axis of 20 is expanded.

Similarly, the high table 22 and the low table 23 can be secured together to reduce the amount of hardware required while achieving the maximum support length (for an object, the distance between adjacent or spaced support columns). Thus, for example, the support posts 14 under the lower table 23 will be secured to the support posts 14 of the adjacent elevated table 22. Figures 1 through 15 include several embodiments having this principle. In addition, since the number of the stand 14 or the support post 14 is reduced, a wider space can be provided for the chair 50 and the user's legs or feet.

The table 20 of the dynamic workstation device 10 has several different heights. For example, the lower table 23 has a height 19a selected by the user for sitting and working. At the same time, the high table 22 may have a suitable height 19b for standing use. At the same time, the side tables 24 have different heights 19, or the same height as the low table 23, the high table 22, and the like.

In accordance with the present invention, a shared high table 22 allows a shared exercise machine 12 having a different workspace 40 to be used by the user. The side table 24 can actually be replaced by a lower table 23 that is perpendicular to the high table 22. Thus, the footprint can be modularized, with a high degree of adjustability in a system with more rectangular footprints relative to a system with more discrete footprint.

At the same time, the foot 18 of the support post 14 below the table 20 is substantially fixed such that at least one of them extends outwardly beyond the edge of the corresponding table 20. In this way, the support column prevents dumping. At the same time, this has more flexibility in selecting and setting the exercise trainer 12 below the high table 22, as well as providing safety and more effective handrails or grips.

The dynamic workstation device 10 can determine that the exercise trainer 12 is facing forward and rearward of the opposing user when working in front of the high table 22 (e.g., a high table). For the user, the lateral direction refers to the direction parallel to the left or right. Lateral may refer to forward or backward. The axial direction may be along any axis, such as the centerline of an object or person. For the user and any support surface such as the floor, the vertical direction is upwards or downwards.
